I think there is a third one in eastern PA. I need to check when I get home.

There is one (Elk Creek) in Idaho. Why don't you boys come out here. Compared to the weather in the GLs you'll think your in Florida.

No kidding, eh?

Here's the latest 'creation' (from about an hour ago) from this wine-soddened PITA -- a steelhead version of the venerable P&O. I hooked steelies on P&Os long before I learned you weren't supposed to. So here's a suitable "steelheaded" version for those cold, clear GL days.

Flies only? C&R or harvest?

They have to have a lot of participants to justify the $5,000.00 prize. Is this good for the sport?
